PeoplePerHour Reviews – Legit or Scam?

PeoplePerHour is a website that connects small businesses with freelance workers from across the internet to help them complete small projects quickly and affordably.

According to PeoplePerHour.com, thousands of small businesses use them to hire remote, freelance workers to complete small projects, or just to work for a few hours a week. They claim this allows small businesses to stay flexible.

PeoplePerHour says this benefits small businesses because they can create virtual teams of people across the country – or even internationally – “without the red tape, cost, and bureaucracy of traditional employment.”

They have seven main categories of projects: IT/Programming, Marketing/Sales, Design, Admin/Secretarial, Writing/Translation, Accounting/Legal, or Other. Each category is broken into smaller, more specific categories so workers can something that works for them.

Both businesses and workers can register at PeoplePerHour.com for free. The website does take a small fee from workers, however, when they successfully book a job.

Customer Responses, Reviews, or Complaints

I was a contractor for a short time and was constantly sent email work assignment notifications to bid for jobs that had jack all to do with my profile skills and experience keywords... the support team told me to be patient the algorithms will eventually take note and only email me what was relevant.

That never happened > I decided to close my account and since 20 Dec 2018 I have been emailing the team I was told to ([email protected]) to remove my details and even though I'm chasing daily... I'm getting no response.

Hence I have just referred this matter to the Information Commissioner's Office!!

Will never use again they have sat on my funds supposedly in ESCROW for over six months, after poor customer support, neither myself (buyer) or seller have the funds, and doesn't look like either of us will, so where are they PEOPLEPERHOUR!! ????????????????????

I used the PPH in the past, but I was not fully satisfied because of many issues and a bad support. Currently I use the jointohire.com . You should always try out couple of platforms to come up with the best for You.

They Deactivated My Account too, i sent them My Original NIC ( National Identity Card) And Passport with Utility Bill But They Said PPH either says that the user has violated terms and conditions but refuses to explain which terms and conditions exactly have been violated, or they say that the user has failed security checks

PEOPLE PER HOUR ! aka nightmare ! waste of time money and energy and get abused by their seller. I hired someone for names Ammad Z for my resume. its copy pasted and at times someones else's. PPH decided without my knowledge or consent pay the seller for a resume that mediocre, third class and false. I repeated asked for review and requested the job be cancelled and given to some one else PPH will still make the money but now I know there is no one in customer service reading messages, its all automated. and the Fb messenger is also automated.
THEY ARE UNETHICAL, UNPROFESSIONAL AND EXTREMELY MEDIOCRE SERVICE PROVIDERS.

People Per Hour - there is no information about the company, everything is hidden. No address, no telephone, no email, no contact. On the top of that they extorting personal sensitive data. They wanted data like I would apply for a loan:

- a copy of a Government issued ID (Passport, Driver's License or National ID Card);

- a copy of a recent utility bill showing your name and address (less than 3 months old);

- a copy of the front and back of the card used.

- Credit or Debit Card Bank Statement of the card used on your PPH account

Full of Indians pretending to be English offering poor quality work and undercutting and essentially de-valuing british freelancers.

One example is a company called Dharmesh P. I wanted to meet up with them in London to discuss a new website and they gave me a british mobile. Clearly Indian i tried not to be put off but after 4 attempts and excuses about their office being under construction I asked if he was based in India and he admitted he was. This for me and many others is why PPH has such a bad reputation, if I wanted to employ an Indian based developer I would search for indian developers. PPH really need to get on top of this.
